Responsible storage in Astana

You hand over the goods under a certificate — from that moment the complex is responsible for quantity, condition and dates. Addressed put-away, WMS records and stock balances on request. You pay for the cells actually occupied and the operations, from 10 pallet places.

What the service is

Fixed warehouse costs
become variable

When you rent, responsibility for the goods stays with you: you get the space and manage it yourself. With responsible storage, the goods are handed over to the warehouse under a certificate. For companies with up to a thousand pallet places this is cheaper than their own warehouse: no off-season rent, no warehouse staff salaries in the low season, no purchase of equipment and accounting software licences.

Liability for goods

A stock report is provided at the client’s request.

Receiving under a certificate

We record quantity and packaging condition. In case of a discrepancy or damage the goods go to a quarantine area with photo evidence, and you decide what to do.

Pay for actual use

A two-part tariff: storage per pallet place per day and warehouse handling per operation. You don't pay for empty cells.

Scale without moving

Take more cells in season and fewer in the low season. No need to look for new premises or stop shipments.

Climate and safety

+12…+25 °C all year round, sprinkler fire suppression, 24/7 security, storage areas separated by client.

Handling of goods

Order picking, stickering, labelling and repacking are done on the same site, without outside contractors.

Addressed storage and WMS

Stock is visible.
No need to call.

Addressed storage is the mechanism behind responsible storage: every place has an address (row, rack, level, cell), and goods are put away not wherever there is space but according to a rule assigned by the system. Stock balances are provided at the client’s request.

01 Addressed put-away Every pallet is assigned to a cell — A-14-03-2, not “somewhere in the third row”. Fast movers go on the lower levels near the picking area, slow movers go up.
02 FIFO / LIFO / FEFO The picking logic is set for your goods and enforced at the system level. For food, cosmetics and household chemicals, FEFO by expiry date is mandatory.
03 Scan confirmation Receiving, moving, picking and shipping are confirmed by scanning — this rules out mis-picks, the main cause of claims at warehouses without addressed records.
04 Personal account and expiry dates Stock by SKU, movement history and shipping requests — online. Items nearing expiry appear in a separate report in advance.
Impact

What it gives you
in numbers

A separate benefit is transparency in disputes: the scan history shows which cell each box was taken from, by whom and when.

Picking accuracy 99%+

With bulk storage, a 2–3 % mis-pick rate is considered normal.

Order picking 1,5hours

Instead of 5 hours: the operator follows a route instead of searching for goods.

Downtime for stocktaking 0days

Done selectively by zone during normal operation; the warehouse doesn't close.

Stock report 1once a day

The certificate of work completed and reconciliation — at the end of each month.

Product range

What goods we accept
for storage

Each group has its own put-away scheme and its own rules for what can sit next to it on the rack.

We accept

We work with

  • dry food and beverages;
  • household chemicals and cosmetics;
  • clothing, footwear, marketplace goods;
  • electronics and home appliances;
  • auto parts, packaging;
  • building and finishing materials.
We don't accept

Not accepted for storage

Dangerous goods that require a specialised warehouse, and goods that need deep-freeze conditions. We say so openly at the first meeting, so you don't waste time on negotiations that won't lead anywhere.

Process

The path of goods
inside the complex

01

Receiving

We compare the actual quantity with the expected one, record discrepancies, and the batch gets an identifier with its date and expiry.

02

Addressed put-away

The system assigns an address based on turnover, weight, size and compatibility. Put-away is confirmed by scanning.

03

Storage and records

Stock is visible in the personal account, storage conditions are monitored, and stocktaking is selective without stopping the warehouse.

04

Picking

The system calculates the picking route and every box taken is scanned — mis-picks are ruled out.

05

Shipping

A request from the account goes into the picking queue; the shipment is documented and recorded in the batch history.

Case study

How it works in practice

FMCG distribution

Warehouse move in 6 shifts without stopping shipments

Task

The client rented premises without racking and lost up to 4 hours a day searching for goods.

Result

Picking accuracy rose to 99.6 %, and order picking time fell from 5 to 1.5 hours.

Retail chain

FEFO storage with no expiry write-offs

Task

Goods with a limited shelf life were regularly written off because of “convenience” picking.

Result

The system offers the batch with the nearest date first, and critical stock appears in a report in advance.

Questions

Questions about responsible storage

We work from 10 pallet places with payment for the cells actually occupied. From 500 pallet places, renting a dedicated block is often more cost-effective.
When you rent, you get space and are responsible for the goods yourself. With responsible storage the goods are handed over to the warehouse under a certificate, and the complex is responsible for quantity, condition and dates. The cost structure changes too: spending becomes variable and follows your turnover.
It's a system where each cell has a unique address and barcode, and goods are put away by rule rather than by free space. Knowing “what is where” moves from the storekeeper's head into a database, so their holiday no longer affects shipments.
In the WMS personal account: stock by SKU, movement history, expiry dates and shipping request statuses. A stock report is generated daily, and at the end of the month — a certificate of work completed and a reconciliation.
The tariff has two parts: storage per pallet place per day and warehouse handling per operation — receiving, picking, shipping, labelling. One-off work is charged separately according to the price list.
The goods are not put on the racks: they go to a quarantine area, a certificate with photos is drawn up, and the client decides. This avoids disputes after the fact.
If pallet places are available, the first receiving is possible on the 3rd–5th working day after the tariffs are agreed and the contract is signed.
